Unlike after previous setbacks, Vice-President AdrianoGalliani has not come out to publicly defend Allegri.

In fact, Galliani has not spoken to the media at all, which is an unusual move. It is rumoured he is waiting to speak with President SilvioBerlusconi before giving any more statements on Allegri’s future.

If he is sacked, then assistant manager Mauro Tassotti is expected to be promoted in his place.

Milan are in 13th place, just five points clear of the relegation zone and 12 points adrift of the Champions League spots.
